Adding to the impact of the song, Jesse released an inspiring music video about never giving up. Jesse knew that he wanted to tell a powerful story in the video.

Jesse explains: “The video tells the story of a young athlete from a challenging background who is passionate about running. The story follows her as she chases her dream of becoming a professional runner against all odds, pushing herself to her limits to reach her goal. This captures the idea of the song which is about finding meaning, love and passion in our darkest moments.”
